How to Track a Cellphone in Android, iPhone and Blackberry [Tips]

Since the last time we covered the topic, there have been great solutions to track our friends, family members, and even employees, through the phones themselves. Smartphones today have everyone with a GPS, which lets us know the location of the same, at all times (provided, of course, are turned).

But that's not all, to have access to cellular networks, may use the a-GPS, which is a triangulation with cellular tower, which allows the location is much faster (in addition to no impact on consumption Battery dramatically). And of course, if the phones have Wi-Fi enabled, you can also use as a benchmark, achieving an approximate location quickly.

Test it yourself, open the application "Maps" from their smartphones, and see how fast they are placed by their smartphones. But what happens if they place not their own phones, but the family (perhaps that of their children?). Or their friends, to see where is the meeting? Or perhaps that of your employees?

Today, we see three excellent alternatives for different platforms. It should be noted, of course, that only share your location with friends and family as they share the location with strangers, as you know is dangerous.

Life360 Family Locator

Let's start with the cross-platform alternative. Life360 Family Locator is available on Android, iPhone OS and Blackberry. The purpose of the application, you see, is to know the location of our family members, where they are.

The application is the most complete of all, offering a courier service within the application. But yes, unlike the other two that we will then need to register new accounts on the service. The service also has a button "Check in", to notify parents when their children have arrived safely at their destination, ejemplo.Además, has a useful "panic button". In an emergency, the person in distress can press it, and immediately the other contacts will receive an alert on their phones.

Application available only to users of iPhones / iPad; Find My Friends is very simple. We just have to add to our friends (via your Apple ID), expected to respond to our request and within seconds, see how they are located on the map on the right.

Google Latitude

It works on both platforms, but does much better on Android, and it is integrated into Google Maps. In fact, we just open the Maps application on Android, go to settings, select "Join Latitude" and go! Once you have joined, they can add to your family and friends to the list. And if people are adding Android, the location will automatically: that is, no need to open the app to update the place where we are. The other advantage is that they can use not only from the Maps application directly, but can also access it from latitude.google.com

How to Get It? If you already have a Google Account and Maps installed on your Android phone, I have! Simply open the application, click the icon to give layers, activate Latitude, and start adding to your friends!
